I often hunted rabbits with a recurve bow when I was a kid. They often wouldn't run far when spooked and it was pretty easy to nail them with an arrow when they stopped.
Later, and even up til now while still-hunting whitetails in Vermont with a few inches of snow I just keep an eye out for that 'black marble' there in the whiteness and put the crosshairs of my .270 on the eye... no muss, no fuss and no mess either.
I don't have a recipe for snowshoes but I cut them into quarters and the back makes the fifth piece. I put the pieces on the grille, flip them once after three or four minutes and leave them for another three or four minutes. No rub, no basting with some sort of masking flavor concoction - just plain rabbit meat. It is very good and is kinda like the dark meat of a turkey.
